Suffice it to say that enough people have raved about this place! And I figured one more review to…read moreadd to the base of ardent fans of this wonderful bookstore and cafe! The grilled cheese here is one of the best I have had outside of the US. I wasn't expecting it, so it came as wonderful surprise! I ordered a cheese sandwich that I had seen on the display, prepackaged, and when they asked me if I wanted it heated, I said yes. The result was this marvelous grilled sandwich which was simply divine! You have to pay a Euro in coin to use the bathrooms at this establishment! Just an FYI, NOT a complaint! Anything to support a wonderful place like this!

Het is een algemene regel dat wanneer je de betere winkeltjes in een stad wil traceren, je zo'n…read morebeetje om het centrum heen moet cirkelen. In Maastricht vind je dan de beste boekenwinkel van Nederland, de Tribune. Dat bleek althans uit een kwaliteitsonderzoek van Vrij Nederland. Wie hier binnenloopt kan zich daar wat bij voorstellen. Tot de nok toe volgepropt met boeken zoals zich dat hoort, met medewerkers die blindelings naar de juiste plank lopen en zonder verder te zoeken het juiste boek voor je uit de rek pakken. Het winkeltje lijkt vooral goed voorzien van filosofie, kunstboeken en literatuur. Maar ook als je iets meer specialistisch zoekt zoals toneelboeken maak je hier de beste kans. Zo'n typisch winkeltje waar je altijd net iets langer blijft snuffelen dan de bedoeling was.

We visited the Berlin store (see my separate review) and loved it, so naturally we had to visit the…read moreCologne store. Once again, I could easily have spent many more hours browsing; the selection is *superb* and eclectic. Also, everyone working there was incredibly helpful and quite friendly.

An American style book store, now also in Düsseldorf. The interior is lovely, but the presentation…read morein the main areas is focused on selling you merchandising rather than actual books - Scottish cookies, blank books, Düsseldorf souvenirs, etc. (very much like any Barnes & Noble or Borders). There's a small corner dedicated to English books, but the Stern-Verlag's selection is far superior. The staff was very nice and helpful the one time I was there. This is a bookstore to walk in if you're in the area. If you're looking for books, you should go to the Stern-Verlag.
